Senator Schmitt Blasts Sanctuary City Policies: "They Value Illegal Immigrants More Than Americans."

Published | Video Starts at 02:33

Border patrol caught him in May of 2023. The Biden administration's open border policies let him go. That was the Democrats first chance to prevent Sheridan's murder. Democrat run. Chicago then had another chance to prevent Sheridan's murder. It arrested the same illegal alien, Jose Medina Medina for shoplifting. But Illinois and Chicago's sanctuary policies ordered the police to say nothing to ice. So instead of handing him over to federal custody, they turned this monster loose on the streets of Chicago, the safety of American citizens be damned. (02:33–02:43)
